It Feels Like I Have An Amazon Warehouse In My Cupboards and Wardrobe
My home feels like it’s packed to the rafters with ‘Stuff’. Now that I’m retired, the pace of life is so much slower. However, I still seek constant challenges every day. Perhaps after a lifetime of plugging into constantly being busy and striving, I’m still addicted to the satisfaction of achieving.

99 Nights in the Forest
In the world of survival horror, true terror often comes not from a monster you can defeat, but from one you can only escape. In 99 Nights in the Forest, this philosophy is embodied by The Deer, the game's central and unkillable antagonist. This creature is more than just a simple enemy; it is a force of nature, a relentless embodiment of the forest's predatory darkness that transforms every night into a heart-pounding fight for survival.

The Mapmaker of Sleepless Cities
There are cartographers of oceans and of stars, but I have chosen a different trade. I am a mapmaker of the territories we carry within us — the sprawling, sleepless cities of the mind. I chart the highways of thought, the quiet suburbs of nostalgia, and the bustling downtown districts of our anxieties. For years, I believed these lands were invisible, impossible to document. Then, I began to paint them. What you see here are not mere pictures; they are recovered maps of a world we all inhabit but rarely dare to explore. Let us take a journey together.

Zipho Memela international debut
Memela's initial rise to fame was swift and decisive. Beginning his career in 2008, he quickly became known for his exceptional "flow, agility, and rhyme ability," distinguishing himself from his peers.

However, the intense pressure of the music industry and reported financial struggles led him to announce his retirement in 2020 at the age of 20, leaving a significant void in the South African hip-hop scene.

Continuing from weekend 4... It's weekend 5 of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. The collective feeling going around is 'tired.' Many people I know overslept at some point over the last week, myself included. Hit was humid, 70s, and a bit rainy, and we were ready to play.
